I need advice in establishing a Celebrity chef or television chef ping list.
There is an existing food ping list though I'm not sure how active it is. This would not be a place for the exchange of recipes though if that were to happen I wouldn't have an issue with it.
The main purpose would be the diversion from more serious matters to discuss television food personalities and news of interest to "foodies": Rachel Ray, Anthony Bourdain, Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Jacques Pépin, Paula Deen and so on.
They do all have a place. Just funning with you.
Heck, my in-laws all think I’m a food snob because I miss the food in Minneapolis.
Tacos al Pastor, authentic Szechuan, etc.
I love where I live, but takeout consists of Subway from a gas station. :)
Beans? I use them at home but never in a competition.
Cubed chuck heck yeah. Ground beef? heck ya. I used that in place of masa harina for body, and I use SECRET hobo spices.
Sour cream, Beans, Red onion and Cilantro on the side
Tacos al Pastor In Minny?
Holy Smoke Carlo!
That’s a lot of links! It is really appreciated as are your kind words! May I add you to the TV Chef Ping List?
Still lookin for eldest sons FR handle to ping, he is the chef I am just a cook.
Ditto on Pepin!
I’ve added you to the TV Chef Ping List.
Thanks!
Good gravy, he did put beans as the last ingredient in his chili, and I missed it.
Mod, please blast that recipe to zot hell. :)
Pepin loves simple food he understands food.
Thanks for adding me to the list
Doh!
I like beans in mine but it aint in competition rules.
Damned purists!
Personally I think cheese ruins it
We have a huge hispanic population now. Tons in Mpls and many in the outlying areas.
I love this place when I’m an undercover lib.

Jamaicaan patties are a big point with me. Scotch Bonnet sauce, Ja Mon!
Lookin Yommy!
One way we serve chili is take a bag of Fritos, spoon a dump of chili into it, add shredded cheese, sour cream and a spoon.
I heard a strange thing today. TX corn farmers have noticed the spanish (TX) thistle is blooming which portends an early winter. Apparently the plant blooms 6 weeks before the first frost, which would put the first frost at Sept 1 or so? The one I heard this from got this from the centex corn belt.
Meant Oct 1.
mmmmmmmm Frito Pie! As guilty pleasures go that's pretty darn high on the list!
Regarding the early winter; Al Gore says we are all going to be scorched by the sun until we drown from melting polar ice caps. What the heck do Texas Corn Farmers know about farming anyway! /sarcasm
As a wine recommendation for chile, can I suggest an Egri Bikaver? The vineyards have shown some recovery since they chased out the commies.
Great to see you, Chef! HUGGGGGSSS
Original Juan makes a great Jamaican-style sauce, Pain in Good #114. It may be sacrilege, but it goes especially well with the somewhat sweet ingredients in jambalaya.
Thanks for that great set of links - will come in handy (beleive it or not, the holidays aren’t that far away). Great to hear from you.
